Plea deal talks have reportedly fallen apart in the case with Chris Brown. Apparently his lawyers aren’t sure if they want the Lindsay-Lohan-serve-two-hours-in-jail deal or if they want to gamble with the O.J. Simpson-acquittal-by-incompetent-jury trial.

Let’s keep it peaceful and just stick to always sending the love!
